Glamourous Quaglino’s launches sustainable cocktail menu

November 26, 2018

There is something about a royal connection; everything the royals touch somehow seems to turn into gold.

If you’ve done Ibiza, head over to Algarve

September 7, 2017

Summer in Europe, more northern parts in particular are often short and unpredictable. In London and UK as a whole, we are not as blessed with days with warm summer sun as many of the neighbouring countries, and this is a strong reason why so many Brits flee to places in the South like Portugal, Spain, Greece and Italy to catch some sun.

Drink your way through time

March 21, 2017

Do you know what’s so special about this view? It is the iconic London night view, but also the place I was standing on taking this photo, was where Fred Astaire danced.

The Savoy in London has long been one of the most loved luxury hotels through time. Celebrities, actors, actresses etc had been regular guests, and when they do, there is always some urban myths or stories be told. Researching on the history of the hotel...

Party the afternoon away at Ocean Beach Ibiza

September 5, 2016

How are you spending your Monday afternoon? Earlier when I was whisked away to Ibiza, I spent my Monday at Ocean Beach Club Ibiza, enjoying the great company, delicious food and partying the afternoon by the pool side for hours. Located on the west coast of Ibiza in San Antonio, Ocean Beach Ibiza is situated along the waterfront complete with ocean views by day and the iconic Balearic sunset at night. I wonder how many people are in that 600m2 swimming pool. Namely The ultimate beach club, Ocean Beach Ibiza is dedicated to creating a unique and lavish lifestyle experience for those looking for the ideal daytime destination und...
